Roots of Empathy - Feelings

This week we finished off our theme on feelings in Roots of Empathy. We looked at pictures with images of children and we had to guess or predict how each person was feeling based on their body language and the expression that they had on their faces. We were very good at reading the signs given off by the pictures. People who feel sad or upset have drooped shoulders and gloomy looking faces, while people who are feeling happy and excited have open faces and wide eyes and their bodies are upright. We have enjoyed exploring this theme in our Roots of Empathy lessons.
